They can't say no to playing whatever super long and complicated board game I suggest.

LAN party

I’d get burnt out and disinterested within a week a quickly be murdered and replaced by a member of my inner circle

Tell them killing billionaires and getting away with it assures you a place in heaven

It'd be fun for about a year, then I'd get bored of being in charge of people and try to ghost everyone

I'd definitely Jonestown those losers.

Send wave after wave of drugged-up soul-berserkers slamming into the local police department

Teach them to give me a ticket for burning leaves without a permit

Have them feed me grapes while I larp as living god

I’d be too lazy to maintain a cult for longer than like a week so probably not much

I've always thought my personality would be a double edged sword for being a cult leader. I'm a great storyteller, but I also get bored and leave quickly

Make them read me bedtime stories

They have to watch One Piece

They have to read Marx

They have to do BJJ

Do meal prep for me

$50/mo membership fee

Then they get to just chill and hang out.

Convince everyone to buy into my multi level marketing scheme then mysteriously vanish never to be seen again

The unfunny joke is that I would do exactly what every other cult leader does. There is a reason cults are the way they are because that is what works. If you make it about comunism the cia kills you. If you don't let people do sex crimes in it they start their own offshoot.

That being said, that cults seem to be made by the combination of freedom from capital restraints and the fawn responce to trauma. You would think you could get a selective breeding program out of it. Just get a little weird for fun you know. Make an actually DnD party.

ask them to give me money, and then give the money to more capable people

Do an Earthseed
